I saw this at Marukai yesterday. I knew that it was sake lees (a byproduct of sake production) and is used to make tsukemono. I stood in front of it for awhile remembering a few Japanese programs that I'd watched before where they show how some households have a kasu-filled vat in a corner somewhere, and anytime they needed tsukemono they would go to it and dig out a pickled vegetable. I think that's so cool. I wanted to try. This bag was $4.29.
This daikon ($1.49) is actually not as big and obscene-looking as it appears.
Lahaina Baby Eggplant ($3.87)
Keiki Cucumber ($3.99)
Now, I gotta figure out how to do this. Wish me luck! LOL!
this is kinda like how I make ours for work. I mix it with beer, whole dried chili pepper, ajinomoto (yup..so I cant eat it ;-{ ... after I salt the cucumbers and rub rub rub and let them sit for 30 minutes, rinse off and BURY in the mixture...bam...overnight....tsukemono !!
Oooooh. I love tsukemono. I buy the one from Ruger Market - yatsumezuke. Before I used to buy it at Tropics in the Ward markets before Marukai took over, but now he sells it at Ruger.
